mac-fdisk hangs

Attempting to use the CD on a dual 2.0Ghz G5, with a 2TB SATA disk.

The drive has been partitioned with MacOS, which runs on it. The kernel sees the partition map when it loads.

mac-fdisk just hangs, spinning the CPU at 100%.

Any clues?

My troubleshooting has determined this is an issue with the version of mac-fdisk on the install CD. A freshly built mac-fdisk can access the disk without problems. (Now I just need to build a static one I can use from the install image...)
